Systems interoperability
Assessing how sensors, networks, platforms, and command systems share information across a mission.
Warfighter-informed defense innovation
TECHNOLOGY THAT
WORKS IN THE FIELD.
Strong Island Innovation Group is a Long Island, New York defense innovation group connecting emerging technology with operational reality through assessment, testing, and direct warfighter insight.

FROM THE SYSTEM
TO THE MISSION.
We examine how technology performs as part of the complete operational chain—not just how it performs by itself.
Robotics & uncrewed systems
Evaluating practical UAS and UGV employment in realistic, operationally relevant conditions.
Operational testing
Turning experiments and demonstrations into clear findings, limitations, and actionable next steps.
Our approach
BUILT AROUND THE
OPERATOR’S PERSPECTIVE.
A capability can perform well on its own and still fail when it meets a network, a crew, or a changing mission.
SIIG starts with the full operational workflow: what information is needed, where it moves, how systems interact, and what a warfighter can actually do with the result.
We identify what works, expose friction early, and give technical teams a grounded path toward improvement.
University collaboration
BRING THE WARFIGHTER
INTO INNOVATION.
SIIG works with universities and research teams to connect promising research with operational needs. We help teams consider how a capability would be used, tested, integrated, and improved in the field.

Frequently asked questions
START WITH
THE MISSION.
What does SIIG focus on?
Defense technology assessment and operational testing for robotics, uncrewed systems, interoperability, and experimentation. SIIG helps technical teams understand how capabilities perform in realistic mission workflows.
What does an assessment examine?
We look at how a capability supports a larger mission: the information it produces, how that information moves, and what an operator can do with it.
How does SIIG work with universities?
We help university teams bring warfighter perspectives into research and technology development, including practical questions about operational use, testing, and integration.
Can we discuss a potential project?
Yes. Send a brief description of the technology, project, or mission problem by email, or call us directly.
